TODAY IS THE DAY!

This is the update I was both excited and anxious to post. My first novel is live to the world, and I'm still not sure it's hit me. At least not the way I imagined it would. I'm pacing a lot when I should be at my desk. I think it's the letting go. I keep thinking I need to still be working on it. But it's done.

A few years ago, this book was a dream I was almost too scared to say out loud.

I had a story in my head and no idea whether I could get it onto a page in a way that made sense. No idea how to even begin to tell the story. So I did the only thing I knew how to do. I made it a challenge and decided to try something I'd never done before in front of an entire internet of strangers!



I got up at 4am, before work, before I was awake enough to talk myself out of it, and I wrote. Then I posted it here. Week after week. Some mornings the words came easy. Plenty of mornings they did not, and I posted anyway. Because I made you a promise to be here every week at a certain time, you were waiting, and I wouldn't let you down.

You have no idea what that did for me.

Every time I wasn't sure I could keep going, one of you would show up and remind me someone was actually reading. Someone cared what happened to my baby. You kept me going. You kept me writing.

And somewhere in all those 4am mornings, the dream stopped being a dream. It became a world. One I got to live in through four complete novels!

The first one is ready now, in its entirety.



It's been a long, winding road, from those early mornings to turning Out of the Mist into a complete novel. And it wasn't some stroll through a bright, sunny park. There were so many things I didn't see coming, things I didn't know were there until I fell face first into them.



I did everything out of order and probably made it harder than it needed to be, but we made it. We made a novel! And I'm taking all this can't-be-still energy to do my happy dance. It's an awkward running man while I throw my arms up to call a field goal. You know you have an equally cringe one of your own, so join me for a quick celebration dance.



Out of the Mist: The Outcast Warrior Chronicles, Book 1 is fully edited, with character art and a world map. It's the same story you know, polished and smoothed, gathered into one full-length novel.

The original serialized version is still here for you in every tier.

Thanks for your support and celebrating this long awaited day with me. Now I'm off to get Into Darkness, Book 2, ready for its August release!

👋Hello my friends!



I know this last episode is short but I had to end it here. It's such a good spot! Plus these intense scenes take alot out of me.



But here's the good news. I'm itching to show you more so let's kick off a Binge Week!🎉 🥳

Starting next Wednesday I'll post a new episode every day for 7 days.

Grab your favorite cup and break out the reading socks (yes, it's a thing) we're diving in baby.

Hello my friends! Thank you so much for your support and love for this story. We’re getting closer and closer to the end. And I’m all kinds of nervous and excited.

And it pains me to say today’s episode will be coming to you late. 😭

I’m not a full time writer yet and this week my day job has taken over. I had to leave my cozy writing desk and jump on an airplane to help one of my clients at their offices. There’s just too many early mornings and late dinners to focus. And I don’t want to rush this next episode. It’s going to be action packed!

But the good news is, I’ll be back home on Saturday. At my desk with fuzzy bun head and my extra large mug of coffee to get you a brand new shiny episode that afternoon. I’m so sorry for the delay but it’s coming. And I’m even preparing a special bonus episode for your patience.

Whaaat…a bonus? Yep, that’s right - two episodes on Saturday all for you.

Thanks again for your support & I’ll see you Saturday!

❤️Em

It's here - Beyond Reach Binge Week! Get ready for a week of action packed reveals coming to you every day for the next 7 days! I've stocked my coffee and cleared my calendar. Here we goooo!

EPISODE 15 - Beyond Reach UPDATE:

Today's update was a hard one for me with lots of secrets to reveal.

I just added the second half of the episode a few minutes ago. And if you read earlier this morning you'll want to be sure to catch the second half before next week's BINGE.
